Primary Source 26.3: The Modern Girl: Image or Reality?
A young woman enjoys a drink at the Romanesque Café in Berlin in 1924. The independence of this “modern girl,” wearing fashionable clothes with a revealing hemline and lacking an escort, transgressed familiar gender roles and shocked and fascinated contemporaries. Images of the modern girl appeared in movies, illustrated magazines, and advertisements, such as this German poster selling “this winter’s perfume.”
